Cel

A 250 KW BOUMA wind turbine will be installed at the Municipal Fish Auction at den Helder and the electricity produced will be used to cool fish. The aim is to produce electricity at a strongly competitive price. The innovative feature mainly consists of the simple cost effective construction of the wind turbines and the use of efficient manufacturing techniques. The estimated annual yield is 425 MWh.

A 25m diameter, 250 KW BOUMA wind turbine derived from the existing 20m, 200 KW, will be constructed and installed at the Municipal Fish Auction at den Helder. The aim is to produce electricity at a strongly competitive price. It is a 3-bladed, fixed pitch, upwind with an asychronous generator. The nacelle is based on the top of a 35m cylindrical tower. The blades are of glass-fibre reinforced polyester. The cut-in speed is 5m/s and the cut-out 25 m/s. The estimated annual yield is 425 MWh and will be used to cool fish. The estimated cost of KWh is 0.26 HFL which has to be compared with 0.29 HFL of the conventional one.From the 425 MWh, about 255 MWh will be used by the Fish Auction and the rest 170 MWh will be fed to the local grid. Future constructions will show further reduction on the total cost presented here.
